Overview
Women living with multiple sclerosis (MS) often face unique challenges related to reproductive health, often around contraception and the transition through menopause. This 60-minute webinar will explore how MS and it's symptoms can crossover with key stages of women’s health, and how healthcare professionals can best support patients through informed, personalised care.
Led by clinicians from neurology and primary care with a specialist interest in women's health, the session will provide evidence-based guidance and real-world insights to improve clinical practice across a range of care settings.
Aims and objectives
This session will help healthcare professionals to:
Understand how MS and disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) may influence contraceptive choices.
Identify and differentiate between menopause-related symptoms and MS symptoms.
Explore the role and safety of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women with MS.
Apply case-based insights to deliver person-centred care through key stages of reproductive life.
Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams to support women’s health in MS.
